In 2004, the Tahlequah Police Department developed a partnership with the Tahlequah Public School system to place full time CLEET certified Police Officers in the schools.
A School Resource Officer, or SRO, is a law enforcement officer responsible for safety and crime prevention in schools. They help train and educate school staff members and students, develop safety plans and serve as a liaison between schools and outside agencies.
School Resource Officers also participate in after school events and activities, such as the Boys & Girls Club of Tahlequah, provide security at athletic events, and participate in several school committees including; D.A.R.E., Crisis Management, Safe Schools and the student assistance program CARE Team.
The officers frequently attend training in continuing education classes focusing on school safety, crisis management, bullying and crime prevention strategies.
